Hopefully the earth is not too low. Woot has some restrictions as to how far low on the shirt they'll print.

This is the 2nd Derby I have entered (The first being the one with the words. Last week's competition was SOO awesome, it would have been total folly for me to even try).
I HOPE I have the placement right in the file. I wish I could have gotten this up sooner, but it took me 3 straight days working on it. I would LOVE to win, of course, but I know you guys are really great, and I'd be very happy with just a decent showing of votes. (SO VOTE FOR ME, PLEASE!! ;) )

This reminds me of political cartoons from the early 1900s. The same fine artwork that conveys a strong message despite how much time has passed. However, those cartoons did not show animals or people in Asian martial arts wear.

I'll trust the US government website and countless other sources over a single European website. Not everything on the internet is accurate; be sure to check for multiple sources.

EDIT: It says that was the founding of HUGO, the organization that did the project...not that it started that year. I just clicked on and read the article that abstract is for and it also says the HGP started in 1990.

Just type "Human Genome Project 1988" into google, their are multiple sites that say it began in 1988.

I want to know if you use illustrator for your final designs, or some other program? I'm kinda new to this whole web-publishing of my work and the detail in your work is amazing. I can't seem to get my designs to look this crisp or clean.

actually imo some people are more jealous that cho wins and gets the money each week. But he is an artist so why shouldnt he win. Most weeks there arent 3 shirts really worthy of printing.

The enthusiasm for the "Thriller Shirt" has been incredible, but some have asked for a more subtle design. I present to you "Thriller 2" — and I'm 'thrilled' with the new design!

This shirt has been redesigned to include smaller "Zombie Michael Jacksons" arranged in two rows across the chest.

Thanks to everyone for the great support and feedback. I debated doing this redesign, weighing the effect it might have on the original entry, but I really just wanted to offer the best possible shirt for everyone... so once again, thank you!

Please help me to get the word out if you're pumped about the new design!

Dude, you're both right. The organization that put together the Human Genome Project started in 1988...so you could say it started there. Or you could say it formally started in 1990 when that organization presented their plan for the project to congress. Either way, it started in some year, and the date isn't on the shirt lol. It's a sweet shirt, and I must have it O_O.
